Pros: compact, rich, full, realistic sound, quality shines through.

Cons: costly---nothing more.

The Bottom Line: This system is as close to reality as you can get. Well worth every penny you'll pay.

Review: Well, it's been three days and I have turned it up and I have turned it down. I have blasted my home with Megadeth and soothed myself with Wolfgang. I've twanged and fiddled and listened to a Fender or two and even...

Pros: I love the system.

Cons: The system is a lot of money, but it is worth it.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend to all music lovers.

Review: I had always wanted a Bose system ever since I heard one. I had first heard the orginal system years ago and thought it was great. I am astonished by the improved even better sound of the new Bose Acustic Wave II (17817391207) Shelf System...

Pros: Husband acts happy about purchase

Cons: I can't tell the difference

The Bottom Line: The Bose Wave Radio is a fine product with fantastic sound and quality workmanship. But for me, it wasn't a "religious" experience as expected.

Review: First of all, I'll state up front that I'm not an audio expert. My only personal sound requirements are decent bass, good volume, and not too much treble. I don't like rattling speakers, either. Those requirements met, I'm a happy camper.

Pros: Great sound quality

Cons: nothing

Review: I love this stereo the sound quality and the number of stations you pull in is great. At first I didnt think the wave radio was worth $1000, I thought there were so many more that we less expensive that could give the same quality as the wave radio,...

Pros: Quality sound, very compact system, easy to use

Cons: Expensive; can get better sound from 5 speaker system

The Bottom Line: If you have $1,000 to shell out on a quality compact system, get this. However, if you have lots of space or want high-quality sound, get a 5-speaker system instead.

Review: Having used the Bose Acoustic Wave System for almost 3 years now, I can honestly say that it is the best one-piece system that I have ever listened to. At a price of around $1,000 though, it is a considerable amount to pay for any system, and it is...

Pros: Incredibly rich sound, simple operation, small but complete

Cons: Not the best looking piece of equipment on the market, a bit expensive

The Bottom Line: This ugly duckling offers beautiful sound. If you want tremendous quality, here it is.

Pros: Clear concise sound

Cons: None

Review: I purchased the Acoustic Wave Music System for a gift to a family member. After hearing only rave reviews from others and reading many articles with nothing but great opinions of the Acoustic Wave,plus having the privilege of hearing the quality of...

Pros: great sound; no distortion even at 100% volume

Cons: a bit expensive, single-CD player

Review: I bought this product because I had heard it was a great sounding, compact unit. After I plugged it in and tried the demo CD, I was really amazed how much bass it had and how well it spread the sound. The demo CD contained nothing but real...

Pros: Looks nice

Cons: Incredibly poor performance for the price

The Bottom Line: A mediocre performer for the price, and outclassed by a host of simple-to-configure (and operate) alternatives, including many of the compact home theater systems currently flooding the market.

Review: You remember P. T. Barnum, the famous showman behind the Barnum & Bailey Circus. He once asserted, "There's a sucker born every minute." That Bose can get away with selling their mediocre-at-best Acoustic Wave system for around $1,000 is a testament...

Pros: good quality sound

Cons: price tag is more than you should pay for this quality...

Review: My wife and I recieved one of these wonderful contraptions from her father for our wedding present and we have enjoyed it ever since. The unit produces high quality sound which does actually sound much better than the average, run-of-the-mill radio...
